If a teacher were to come to me and ask for help setting up a podcast I would discuss with him/her what they had in mind for their project. I would explain that although I have limited experience is podcasting, I would be happy to explore it with them. I think it would be a terrific project and one where we could learn together. The first thing I would do with the teacher would be to give them an article on podcasting to acquaint them with the topic and also refer them to WilloWeb so they might see how others have used podcasting . That might help them define exactly what they wanted to do when we got together.
The article in Library 2.0 gave many terrific ideas about how to use podcasting. I love the idea of a weekly podcast explaining all the thing happening in the media center. I could talk about new book and material arrivals, special events, and exhibits such as science projects on display. Podcasts are a great way to deliver Book Talks, media center tours, book reviews, and lectures on a specific topic. Podcasts could also be made of speakers which could be shown to students who were absent or who wanted to review the information. Students could make podcasts on a wide variety of topics. There are an almost unlimited number of ways podcasts could be used to make education more fun and technically challenging for students.

Tami,
I agree and I too liked the idea of having weekly updates using a podcast to introduce the new things in our media center that was mentioned in 2.0. Not only would I like to try this but I would also like to put book talks podcasts on so that students could interact and discuss different aspects of books that they read. I think this could enhance reading comprehension. It could reach more students and build interest in new reading material that is available in our media center.
